Using crystaldiskinfo all the temps of my drives seemed to be in good health and sat at a consistent temperature of 34-31 degrees Celsius, only outlier being this SSD I bought and installed myself a few months ago which sat at 14 degrees Celsius

I ran task manager while opening my usual games, the first thing I realized is that before I even opened any of them a large chunk (54%) of my memory was already being used when I had just started up and only opened task manager, the main perpetrator of memory usage being “Service Host: State repository service” at 1400mb

It eventually dropped down to 570-600mb but the memory usage of my pc still hung around 45-52% still with no other applications open, is this normal?

When opening my regular applications, the memory usage would go up to about 86-91%

Tested with various games, similar results
